My absolute favourite of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals - you’ll be singing the songs (in a very dramatic tone of voice!) for weeks afterwards. It’ll sweep you off your feet and make you gasp out loud at the great special effects.

A timeless story of love and loss, good and evil and rising above all obstacles to realise your dreams. And it just looks so fantastic. I always love the fact that the story is actually set in a theatre with gorgeous costumes and great choreography. A bit of a guilty pleasure really!

Beautiful songs, fabulous acting, thrilling sound effects. It’s a show that you definately won’t forget for a long time!

Currently being performed at Her Majesty’s Theatre, Phantom of the Opera is a musical that you absolutely have to see live in a theatre. The film was middling compared to the forceful performances on stage and the powerful voices that carry the lyrics and notes to you at perfect pitch.

It tells the story of a genius musician and composer who is facially deformed from birth that is seen as the ghost of the opera house, who takes a chorus girl and trains her for the Opera. Once an old flame recognises her on stage and re-acquaints himself with her, the Phantom becomes jealous and takes her prisoner.
As the second longest running musical in the West end and the highest earning, Phantom has many years of experience. This is telling in the polished performances and high quality acting.

Opera is not for everybody’s taste and Andrew Lloyd Webber has made it palatable. The lyrics and songs are well-known, which always raises the compassion for a musical. In the quaint setting and with the cast what they are – Phantom is an excellent option if you are toying with the idea of a musical.

The Phantom of the Opera is one of the most excellent musicals I have ever seen in my entire life, and I have seen many!
The story is so moving that it will slide under your skin like molten metal, theacting is so brilliant that it will take your breath away and the songs as well as the voices of the actors are so beautiful that it will have you crying! At least, this is a the effect it had on me.
I had watched the film before going to see the show, and so my expectations were high. Very high. And yet they were exceeded by far!
I was amazed, I was thrilled, I was moved!
I would not have exchanged this amazing experience for anything, and the rather expensive ticket I had to invest in to get to see the show was so very well worth its every cent.
A night at this theatre, watching this musical, is an experience that you cannot, by any circumstances, miss.
If you have not gone to see this theatrical play already, then, by all means, go and see it right away!
And if you, like me, have seen it already, then, by all means, go and see it again! And again and again.
A true love story such as this can never get boring.

This show is amazing
The effects, music, costumes and story are all fabulous.
I enjoyed the dark, gothic twist and the music is just so powerful. From the moment the first note was played I was hooked and I came out of the theatre feeling thrilled and exhilarated.

No wonder this has been on stage for so long
Fabulous

The most spectacular show ever composed. This is the kind of show you could watch repeatedly and never get tired of it. The story itself is one of the most powerful and beautiful ever written and the way it has been purged into a musical couldn't possibly be better. The set is magnificent, combined with some of the most amazing vocal in musical theatre, The Phantom of the Opera will never be beaten.
